You can't rush quality and they delivered. The quality of work was just superb! They definitely left us with the and ldquo;Wow!and rdquo; effect. Total professionalism all around. We liked them so much we made the crew lunch every day. The owner is well qualified. He is even a teacher of construction and design at Summerville High School. He was understanding while working with us. I would highly recommend them.

Arrived promptly, was knowledgeable about the problem. Fixed and re-seated vinyl siding. Looks like new.

They were very professional. They showed up early but stayed late. They gave recommendations for better materials when needed. They are good for general construction and full construction work.

They were honest, punctual and timely. It was a good value. They could have been clearer upfront with what exactly we had agreed to. They went ahead with one thing that we had not exactly clarified.

I am really disappointed in Sousa and Sons. We had a shower that needed tile repair. A small job, for sure, and I am sure a hastle for them, but they bid on it. After a couple weeks of prodding for a quote, I got one, and was ok with it. I then prodded for a contract which we got on 5/22 and I returned the same day, they logged a check in on 5/31. I should have known then we would have a problem, but I was very anxious to get the project under way. They were to start mid June, then late June, and finally in mid-July I got an email saying they could not get the tile, they would void the contract and return my money. First, I googled the tile, found dozens of places that carried it, called the first place, and was able to order over the phone the tile immediately (all several sizes). So that was just not true. It then took two weeks to get my check back. And, they declared my contract void without discussing it with me. Meanwhile, I had a signed contract so I did not persue anyone else, which means they strung me along for over two months to leave me hanging at the end. Very disappointed. If they had just been honest from the start, that is one thing, but I completely feel lied to.

Mario was always quick to respond and accomplished his work quickly and professionally. He even tooksome extra time and helped me out with a permitting issue that was unrelated to his work.

No complaints.

Mario (Sousa and Sons) turned my tired, drab, non-granite-counter-top type condo in Union Square into a fresh, appealing (still non-granite-counter-top- type) place that looked so good it sold within three weeks at a great price! His great work ethic was very much appreciated as he only had a few weeks to do it all: replaced my bathtub unit (a little more complicated than we anticipated,) added two doors, replaced the vinyl bathroom floor and carpet in the bedroom, added a hot water connection to a new washer/dryer combo, installed my ice maker, fixed some thresholds, refinished the pine floors down to the bare wood (they look amazing,) sanded and painted throughout , including framework, (only lamenting that he had to paint my bright colored walls several coats,) fixed some stuff, replaced my kitchen sink and fixtures, did some other minor carpentry. He was very careful moving my stuff around, and showed up when he said he was going to. He went above and beyond my punchlist (such as painting my entire built in bookcase,) and was very thorough. When it was all done he recommended a lovely cleaning woman who did magic at a good price. I would definitely hire him again, and was impressed by the variety of stuff he did well.See

"Mario and his team are as good as they come. We bought our first home over a year ago and like most people starting out, our limited funds and experience made us fear all the horror stories you hear about costs doubling, disaster projects dragging on, etc. Having called several companies to compare, Mario stood out from the start and he's been our go-to for everything since. Mario took our visions (some of them pretty unusual) for our total remodel and took the time to figure out how to make them happen. He humored our many clueless requests and plan-changes along the way and always figured out how to work them in, always keeping the costs clear and fairly balanced. Mario and his team are always a joy to work with, as talented professionals and as people. Even during the demolition stage of our gut reno, the space was always cleaned up at the end of each day, they called ahead if plans needed to shift, and updates on the project were always communicated clearly and without delay. Mario is the kind of person you feel really glad to have in your community. He takes the time to explain how something works (even if it's so you can do it yourself if you're stubborn like we are). He offers to lend a tool if you don't have it. During the crazy floods last year my husband was out of town and Mario called to check in and make sure I had what I needed. I can't imagine a better contractor to work with. We're on our next big project now, and feel blessed as always to be working with Mario."
